"Hot" Chocolate Mousse

There are so many things to love about this chocolate mousse

that it’s hard to know where to start. I will first start off with how easy and

fast this mousse is! It’s simply putting everything in a bowl and turning on

the mixer then if you want folding in some sweet toppings. It’s frugal! One pint

of heavy whipping cream and a box of hot chocolate (I used Swiss Miss) and if you want some

toppings and you are good to go! You could easily make dessert for four for

$5.00.

What I love most is this could be served very elegantly and

it looks like you spent a lot of time and money making this dessert up, but

your secret is… you didn’t!

Are you in need of a nice romantic and CHEAP dessert for

your special Valentine? This is the dessert for you! As soon as your mousse is made spoon it into

wine glasses top with a strawberry and shave a piece of chocolate on top then

stick it in the refrigerator until you need it! Beautiful, elegant, romantic,

quick, easy, inexpensive!

Please don’t add whip topping to this dessert! If you are

going to use heavy whipping cream to make this you need to save a little on the

side and whip it up without the chocolate to use as a topping. Keep it tasting

just as rich and delicious by leaving the whip topping out and adding your own

whipping cream or a heavy whipping cream topping like Reddi Whip.
